COUNTY BOARD AT LAST ONE Members Finally Discover Something a Which They Can Agree. De mand for Court House. Commissioners Ti'inor and Bruning re turned Thursday morning from Minnea polis, where they examined the court houses in the Twin Cities In order to get new Ideas for the proposed Douglas county building. .' "Douglas county is certainly behind the times In Its public buildings as compared with Minneapolis and 8t. Paul," declared Mr. Tralnor. "Both cities have beautiful buildings, but they are larger than we would care for. In some respects they are 111 arranged and our plans are belter than theirs In some particulars." Bruning returned with. the belief that it would be hotter to build a separate Jail building than to place the Jail on top of the court house, as contemplated In the plans. The Jail and court house are separate at 8t. Paul, and the authorities are talking about constructing a tunnel from one to the other. Notice to Oar Customers.

MAY BE THE PRESENT MEMBERS Heturn to the Old System J. Y Crala;. Who Ha Moved Oat of Limits of the City, May Be F.xcepted. The district Judges have decided to ap point a full and complete new Park board undiT the power conferred by the city churter, to take the place of the present board appointed by the mayor and city council. The Judges made this announcement Thursday morning after a number of con ferences. The appointments under the law must be made the second Tuesday In May, which this year will come on May 12. It Is believed that the decision of the Judges to exercise this power will result in a suit to determine their right to do so. The Judges have not determined yet who will bo ap pointed, but in order to prevent a long legal fight It is hinted they may appoint the present members, with one possible ex ception. As the two boards would be com posed of the same members the chances for a legal fight would be small. The single exception is J, Y. Craig, who, it Is said, has forfeited his right to mem bership on the board by removing his resi dence outside the city limits to near Forest Lawn cemetery, of which he Is superin tendent. The law provides the members shall be resident freeholders of the city. If sll the other present members were reap pointed they would not be in a position to contest their own rights under the ap pointment. , Return to Old System. The action of the judges is a return to the old system of appointing the board, which la still in use aa to the flouth Omaha board. For a number of years after 1889, when the present section of the charter was paired by the legislature, the Judges performed the function of appointing the park board. In June 1898, the supremo court in the caec of the state against Frank K. Moores decided the appointment of the po lice board by tho governor was an unwar rantd Interference with local self-government and the judges acting according to the spirit of the decision relinquished the right to appoint the Tark board. In 1901 In the case of Redell against Moores tho supreme court reversed Itself and upheld the light of the governor to appoint the police board. At that time the Judges dis cussed the advisability of resuming the ap pointment of the Park board, but decided not to. Since about 1898 the mayor and city council have been appointing, though without authority of law, it la asserted. The, present decision of the judges Is based on an opinion given by Judge Red Ick In (he suit of Wall Weber against the city of South Omaha. In this case he held that the appointment of the South Omaha Tark board by the judges Is legal, the leg islature having a right to confer that power on the judges if it desired. Last winter a demand was made on the Judges that they appoint and after holding the matter in abeyance several months they decided to do so. The Biboaio I'lagse destroys fewer lives than stomach, liver and kidney diseases, for which Electric Bitters is the guaranteed remedy. 50c. For sale by Beaton Drug Co. LAND RESERVED FOR DOCKS Byron Heed Company Has Available) Tract aad Kxpeeta to Hold for Boat Garage. In anticipation of the opening of tha Mis souri river to steamboat traffic more than 760 feet of Mlssourt river front, and the only available land for an approach to the river. Is being reserved by A. L. Reed, president of the Byron Reed company, ewner of the government lot t from Jack son to Leavenworth afreets. Mr. Reed said: "We have felt for some time that this land would be needed for docks and have repeatedly turned down offers from raUroad companies and private enterprises that It may be held by us for the use of boats which may need It for docks. "The strip Is narrow, but so far as I know Is the only available piece of ground where docks could be built.

"If tho harbor line Is established some thirty to forty feet from the present bank of the river and a wan built, the docks would be given that much more ground within a year, as the whole front behind the wall would be filled within a Rhort time with earth, garbage, brick, iron and other materials, which would make a. solid ! foundation. This would give a dock some seventy-five feet wide by 0 feet long, and wagons could easily reach the steamboats." The attitude of Mr. Reed in the matter Is to encourage the building of docks and the opening of the river, and ho is holding the land for the purpose of giving boats an opportunity to land. PATTERSON BREAKS OVER LINE Omaha Maa liana Lines of Wayne Qaarantlne aad Offends the Law. D. C. Patterson of Omaha, rur. the lines of the Wayne county "quarantine service" and was placed under arrest Wednesday by the sheriff of tho county and taken to Wayne in the evening for a hearing. He was charged with violating the ordinances of the village of Wayne. Two weeks ago, Mr. Patterson went to Wayne to visit his rTaughter, a Brownell Hall student, who was taken ill with dipth theria, while visiting In Wayne. While his daughter was seriously ill, Mr. Patterson was contented to remain, but when she was recovering ho rebelled against the confine ment. ' Signed and sealed ho sent an application to the Wayne board of health to be "fumi gated out," but permission wan refused. Then the Omaliaa began. ta get "ornery," and under the direction. ftlj. trained nurse. was rumigated out in accordance with the rules oMhe State Botrd of Health. Mr. Patterson came 10 Omaha and was followed by the sheriff of the county who served a warrant on a complaint Issued In Wayne Wednesday evening tho Omaha real estate dealer went to Wayne .and an Immediate trial was granted. The city attorney ap peared to prosecute, and Mr. Patterson kept his hand close to his. pocketbook. ex pectin to "dig" f.5 as a fine. But things went wrong. Mr. Patterson asked a mem ber of the Board of Health about the rules of the organization and whether it has ever met to comply with the state laws It was learned that the board had never met and had never attempted to enfore the state laws. This made every member sub' Ject to a fine of $15 to $25 for not enforcing the rules, and as the state law provided for "fumigating out." those confined under quarantine, Mr. Patterson was discharged The Wayne municipal administration will organize a legal health board and be pre pared for Omahans who come to the town to visit friends and relatives who are quarantined. COLFASSES HAVE SUSPICIONS Bat They Will Not Say Who They Think Left tho Poisoned Caady. Dr. Jennie Colfass, physician for the Woodman Circle, has not yet recovered from the effects of candy which shs ate from a box left at her home. Twenty, eighth and Pacific streets, addressed to her last Friday, and which was found to contain corrosive sublimate when exam ined by the city-chemist. The detectives sre working on the case, but neither they nor Dr. Coifass have any Information to give out at present. "We, of course, have our suspicions," said Mrs. Colfass husband, who Is s physician In the office of Dr. Gifford. "But there Is no proof, and until something tan gmie is secured we can say nothing. My wife had enemies, tut we never dreamed they were of such a class as would resort xo sucn measures as sending poisoned candy, which would mean almost sure death to the one eating it. "The box of .candy was left while every oody was gone from the house. It was ad dressed on a typewriter and therefore there is no trace of the criminal through hand writing. A peculiar fat is that Mrs. Col fass received through the mall recently i box of orange blossoms and a box of pan sles, both packages without a card or other trace of who the aender waa."

PRESENT BUILDING OUTGROWN i t twenty Jail Itrmaads Itrllrf Contemplated Immediate r I'rnponfil Honda for Com blned (oart House and Jail. "The people who are to vote on the court houso bonds next Tuesday oimht to he Impressed with the urgent need of now court house facilities," declared one of the Judges of the district court. "The last grand jury report went into this quite fully, although It did not put It strong enough. Conceding that the bonds will be voted now, to have a new court house ready for oc cupancy, will take at least three year?. That means that at tho earliest we could not get into our new building before 1911, and at our normal rate of growth, we would by that time be unable to do anything (satisfactory In the present building, that has teon doing service for more than twenty-five years. Just hunt up that grand Jury report and let tho people read It again." The last grand Jury made two reports, both cf which are on file in the district court clerk's office, signed by W. H. Crary, foreman, and till the other grand Jurors. The parts relating to the court house situa tion nre s follows: l'resent Facilities Inadequate. 'Having merely called attention to a few of the bad conditions existing In the county court house, and believing that the county and city should lead In public im provements rather than follow private en terprise, recognizing that the present court house is scarcely large enough for a county of one-fourth the T'opnlatlun of Douglas county, and that the growing population of tho county must of necessity greatly increase the business, and if action is taken now looking to tho changing of present conditions, It will probably take four years before a new building can be completed. "The suggestion has been mado that It would bo w!9e to sell the present site be cause it Is valuable. IT It is desiraoie enough for a, syndicate of half a dozen men to own, we do not believe it is too valuable for the great syndicate of Doug-' las county to own, besides, when a new location Is sought, property In that location would immediately become very desirable in the eyes of the sellers. Litigation would naturally follow the removal from the present site, thereby causing another delay of perhaps four or five years, with a prob abln relocation on the old site. 'Everyone knows that tho New York I.lfe building, as well as others, wore located as they are on account of the location of tho court house, and no one with like interest would be inclined to sit quietly by and sec it moved elsewhere. We believe the present location an Ideal one, good founda tion, no slde-lilll proposition or filled ground to contend with. I rsres Voting: of Bonds. "Believing that Douglas county can well afford to hae anything it needs and wants, and that It is with the county as with In dividuals, there are some things that they cannot afford to do without, we would therefore recommend and urge that the county board submit to the people of Dong as county, at an early date, a bond proposi tion looking to tho erection of a good, modern, up-to-date court house and jail, costing from $1,000,000 to 11.600.000. Some thing that every citiaen can "point to with prldo and let the people decide whether or not they want . such a building and Im-provemenits-as will bo a credit to our city and give lt that momentum leading to fu ture growth and greatness. "The preliminary report on the Jail aftor the personal Inspection by the grand jurors, makes it clear that a new Jail is imperative, and that If it were not to be provided In connection with the proposed new court house it would have-to be built right away at a considerable cxpenso as a separate institution. The grand Jury's report de clares: "In view of the frightful conditions found there we deem it our duty to report them at once. Demand For Better Jail. "The Jail is in all respects unsanitary. Upon entering we were greeted with a nauseous, stifling odor that was positively sickening. We are Informed that there is ro remedy for this as conditions now exist. "Wo found that it la necessary to re quire six men to sleep m a small cell scarcely large enough for one. We found that there are 128 persons confined in the jail at this time and that OiIh is far be low the average, and yd thera Is not room for the proper ace m mod a lion of more than one-fifth that number: and that at times there are as many as 1T men, women and children crowded jv.to .'he3e miserable quarters. "We find that it Is freiuently necessary to confine In onetom 10J men and boys of all ages, conditions and color. Here are prisoners charged with all the various crimes from vsgrwicv to murdor; here vile and wretched criminals, old and hardened In the business are huddled together with young men and toys, who are often tho victims of misfortune rather than crime. The result can scarcely Le imagined; much less described. "The Jail was erected many years ago, at a time when the needs of Douglas county were not one-fifth what they ars today. "The only remedy is a new, modern Jail building, one that Is aaniliry and can be ventilated, one that Is largn enough, so tnat the old and vicious criminals can be separated from thojo young men and boys who have taken their first step In wrong doing. "The members of the grand Jury feel confident that whenever the citizens of Douglas eojnty become familiar with the conditions heiin faintly described they w 11 not only sanction the erection of a new jail, but wli demand of those in au thority that lmniedlice steps be taken to bung this about."

The Neighborhood of ........ . , A Your Advertising By HERBERT KAUFMAN. Circulation is commodity which must he bought with th , - same common sense used in selecting potatoes, cloth and real estate. It can be measured and weighed it is merchandise with a provable value. It varies just as much as the- grocer's green stuff, the tailor's fabrics and the lot of the real estate man; Your cook refuses to accept green and rotten tomatoes at the price of perfect ones. She does not count the number of vege tables that are delivered to her, but those that she can use. When your wife selects a piece of cloth she first makes sure, that it will serve the purpose she has in view. When you buy. a piece of property you consider the neighborhood as well as tlw ground. Just so when you buy advertising you must find out how much of the circulation you can tise. You must consider the neighbors where your copy will be read with the same thoughtfulncss that you devoted to selecting the 'spot where your goods arc sold. A dealer in precious stones would be foolish to open up in u tenement district, and equally short-sighted to tell about his jewel ry in a newspaper largely distributed there. Out of ten thtT.sand men and women who might see what he had tocs-ay;n.oit)('tjjtf of Jhejn could afford to buy his goods. These ten thousand readers would be mass with out muscle. He could make them willing to do busi ness with him, but their incomes wouldn't let them become cus tomers. , One of the greatest mistakes in publicity is to drop your lines where the fish can't take your bait. ; ' Circulation is, as you see, a very interesting subject, but very few people know anything about it. It would Surprise you to know that this ignorance often extends to the business offices of newspapers. I have known the class of their readers and have met hundreds of them who had the most fantastic ideas upon the figures of their circulation. While I would not be so harsh as to accuse them of anything more than being mistaken, none the less their tendency to infect others with this misinformation renders it extremely advisable for you to become a member of the Missouri society arid "be shown." v ... You don't want a circulation statfinent. You, don't under stand the tricks in their making. Circulation statements, usually sworn to are dust to blind the eyes of the advertiser to a paper's delinquencies in producing results. Make the newspaper which carries your advertisement show you the list of its adver tisers. The supreme test of the advertising value of a newspaper is does it carry the bulk of the advertising! A newspaper which prints the most advertising, month after month, year after year, is always tho best medium. This is true in New York, Boston, Philadelphia, as well as Omaha. v .v,t (Copyright, 108, by Tribune-Company, Chicago.)
